BIG CAT RESCUE'S VISION STATEMENT
A world where the animals we share it with are treated with respect and caring and where habitat is preserved to insure the indefinite future survival of these wonderful gifts of nature. In creating such a world, we hope the same principles of respect and caring will carry over to the way humans treat each other.
BIG CAT RESCUE'S MISSION STATEMENT
To provide the best home we can for the animals in our care and to reduce the number of cats that suffer the fate of abuse, abandonment or extinction by teaching people about the plight of the cats, both in the wild and in captivity, and how they can help through their behavior and support of better laws to protect the cats.
Big Cat Rescue, a non profit educational sanctuary, is devoted to rescuing and providing a permanent home for exotic cats who have been abused, abandoned, bred to be pets, retired from performing acts, or saved from being slaughtered for fur coats, and to educating the public about these animals and the issues facing them in captivity and in the wild.
The sanctuary houses the most diverse population of exotic cats in the world, with 14 of the 35 species of wild cat represented among more than 100 residents. These include tigers, lions, ligers, leopards, cougars, bobcats, lynx, ocelots, servals, caracals and others, many of whom are threatened, endangered, or now extinct in the wild.
Additional adoption info
We are a permanent home to more than 100 exotic cats and never place them as pets. You can virtually adopt them at http://www.bigcatrescue.biz/servlet/the-Sponsor-A-Cat/Categories, but you cannot take them home with you.
To surrender an exotic cat to Big Cat Rescue, check out our Acquisition Policies here: http://www.bigcatrescue.org/acquisitions.htm
We do not accept domestic cats from the public, but do work with coalition members and we do TnR and feral cat taming for home placement. We do not place them until they have been neutered or spayed and have had their first round of shots. To adopt you must come in person for an interview, allow on site inspection and not have been convicted of any animal abuse or neglect.
